Biography

Krisztina Fehervary is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Michigan, specializing in socio-cultural anthropology. Her theoretical interests center on materiality and semiotics, with an empirical focus on consumer culture, aesthetics, architecture, home decor, popular culture, and the body. Her work interrogates political economy and historical transformation, particularly through fieldwork concentrated in state-socialist and post-socialist Eastern Europe, especially Hungary. Fehervary has conducted ethnographic research within the United States to further explore these themes. She is affiliated with the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, the Doctoral Program in Anthropology, and the Joint Ph.D. Program in Social Work and Anthropology. Fehervary's notable publications include her book "Politics in Color and Concrete: Socialist Materialities and the Middle Class in Hungary," which received the William E. Douglass Prize with an honorable mention for the Davis Center Book Prize from the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES).
